While Kendrick Lamar was out on the West Coast belting out Drake's “Not Like Us” five times at The Pop Out concert last night, Drake himself seemed unfazed by what was going on.
Drake focused on summer despite Kendrick Lamar grabbing Disses headlines
Early Thursday morning (June 20), Drake posted a selfie to his Instagram Story hours after The Pop Out – Ken & Friends concert at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Around 4 a.m., Drizzy posted the selfie with the words “Summer League” superimposed on the image. He had a slightly amused expression on his face, not paying attention to what happened hours earlier at Kendrick's event.
K-Dot's show, which took place on June 19, was a celebration of new and old West Coast talent. Dr. Dre, ScHoolboy Q, YG, Westside Boogie, 310babii and Remble were some of the artists who graced the stage during sets with K-Dot, Mustard and DJ Hed. Kendrick kicked off the concert with a Drake diss of “Euphoria,” but he didn't go all night with his vitriolic bars. He went through several hits from his catalog and saved his latest No. 1 smash for last. K-Dot performed “Not Like Us” a total of five times as the crowd sang every word in unison.
From the fans in the venue, to those watching on the live stream, to the people on X, formerly known as Twitter, K-Dot's show was clearly the talk of the night. However, Drake didn't give a damn based on his social media selfie.
A month ago, Drizzy seemed to signal that he was done engaging in his rap battle with Kendrick Lamar. The beef, which has been brewing for more than a decade, came to the fore in March when Kendrick appeared on Metro Boomin and Future's song “Like That.” What followed was a barrage of diss tracks from both sides. Using his IG Story to send a message that he's done with the disses back in May, the OVO frontman captioned a photo of a samurai fighting an army of men: “Good times. Summer vibes coming.” Drake's catalog proves that he tends to own summer somehow with a track perfect for the hot season. His new 'Summer League' message could be another tease that the vibes are on the way.
